Prakash Books The 100 Best Birdwatching Sites In India

The 100 Best Birdwatching Sites in India is a guide for which I was waiting for quite some time. Practically there is no other book in the market which can give you such detail information about Birdwatching sites in india. Beautiful pictures of birds, habitat and ‘how to reach’ information is quite valuable. A book like this is also a welcome move to attract wildlife travellers from around the world to visit India. I would recommend this guide to all bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. This is going to be my companion for all my upcoming Birdwatching trips.

Good book with nice maps and pics of birds. Would have been happier with more detailed information on the logistics of the various destinations. But more importantly it gives me a source to identify places i can visit across india for birding trips. There are many sources available to plan the trip when I do get around to that.

Nicely put together book which gives you a good background into the best birdwatching stes in the country. It has far too many photographs however, some of which are nice but others are a waste of space as most people travelling to the country would probably already know what a Common Pochard, Gadwall or Common Snipe looks like! This space could have been used to include detailed site maps of which there are none. I have many site guides and most of them include the walking paths and best areas to look for specialist birds.

Positives: many sumptuous, beautiful photographs; good site descriptions and information Negatives: site maps are less than useless; too many mis-captioned photos (e.g. page 57, 85, 89...)

Love this bird.
